DeGuillo? sounds familiar from several movies

Si. El Deguello. Also known as the *red-flag song* or the *cut throats song*. Reportedly played by Santa Anna's musicians at the Battle for the Alamo, and a few times before and since.

That's one of the cheery tunes that follows me around here and there; This'n is the other.
